A few days ago news surfaced that UTEP forward Chris Washburn Jr. was involved in an altercation at a local bar. However, now we're we are learning that may not exactly be the case.
It didn't take much time for UTEP to find a replacement for Jeff Choate, and while an official announcement still hasn't been made, it is expected to come very soon.
Even though there is still yet to be an official announcement from UTEP officials as to the departure of defensive coordinator Jeff Choate, reports are already surfacing of the Miners replacing him with Sam Houston State DC Scott Stoker.
The UTEP football team is just getting through Spring ball, but there may be a potential coaching void to be filled before long.
The day has come where there are tears of sadness and tears of joy... yes the college basketball season is finally over.
The Road to the Final Four need not be littered with rest stop Roy Rogers and their Fixin's bars. Here are the bars (and breweries) you're going to want to stop at if you want to make that road a little more...drunken.

My Opinion of the Good, the Bad & the Ugly
In a game that many thought would be a dogfight to the end, the Miners came out with their worst defensive performance of the year and fell 85-67.
It was a high paced game, and while the Miners started strong they were simply unable to keep up and fell 89-77 at the hands of UCF.
It was a solid offensive performance Thursday afternoon, one that saw six Miners score in double figures. In the end, they walked away with an 80-69 victory over Houston, and advanced to the semifinals of the C-USA tournament.
TULSA, Okla. - The cliché in sports is that it's not over until the fat lady sings. While the song never escaped the proverbial vocalist's lips, she definitely took a few deep breaths in...
